2019 Jersey City shooting

The 2019 Jersey City shooting occurred on 10 December 2019 in the Greenville section of Jersey City, New Jersey when two members of the Black Hebrew Israelites, David Anderson and Francine Graham, killed 4 people and wounded 3 before being gunned down in a police shootout. At 12:30 PM on 10 December, Jersey City Police Department detective Joseph Seals spotted Anderson and Graham at the Bayview Cemetery, where they were hiding guns in a stolen U-Haul van. A shootout ensued, and Seals was fatally shot in the head. The suspects then fled and drove a mile to the JC Kosher Supermarket on 223 Martin Luther King Drive, which they had planned to target in an anti-Semitic attack. They then entered the grocery store and fatally shot three civilians, including the 33-year-old female store owner and a 24-year-old Hasidic Jewish student from Williamsburg, and they were then besieged in the grocery store by police, including not only the JCPD, but also the NJSP, ATF, FBI, SWAT, and NYPD. The perpetrators exchanged gunfire with the police for over an hour, with residents hearing large barrages of automatic gunfire until the police succeeded in killing both of the perpetrators. During the shooting, almost all of Jersey City's schools were placed on lockdown, including the neighboring Sacred Heard school and a nearby yeshiva. Shortly after the perpetrators' deaths, the police found a pipe bomb in the U-Haul truck and defused it.
